Help Me Heal & Transform in Tanzania

Hi, my name is Khadija (Jashawn), and I’m reaching out with an open heart.

No, this is not a scam lol! This is truly an opportunity for me to step out of my comfort zone. Even creating this fundraiser is 100% outside my comfort zone—but what’s the point of playing small in a world that needs us to show up fully? Life has felt mundane and risk-free, and I’m sick of being quiet. I’ve got minds to heal and hearts to restore. I’M ON A MISSION.

This trip to Tanzania is sooo expensive, and I can’t afford it without help. I love helping others, but I NEVER ask for help. So does this make me uncomfortable? HECK YES. I can count on one hand how many times I’ve ever asked someone for money or anything. But I’m humble—and I ain’t too proud to ask.

For years, I’ve been silently struggling with a deep feeling of disconnection from myself and my purpose. Most people who know me wouldn’t guess it. I always keep a smile on my face and try to stay positive—but behind closed doors and in my own thoughts, it’s a different story.

But friends, I truly feel like I’m at a turning point. I know for a fact that my pain has meaning—and that my true purpose is to help others transform their lives and find peace within themselves in this noisy chaotic world.

I have to go on this retreat. It’s a 7-day wellness retreat in Tanzania, with all meals and excursions included—but not transportation or additional travel costs. You have to check out Chef Jay on IG: @thenaturalist.way to understand the energy and meaning behind this retreat he and his team have put together. It’s all love. This isn’t just a trip—it’s a sacred journey of healing, self-love, and rebirth.

I’m hoping to raise $7,000, which will cover:

This isn’t just for me—it’s for the people I’m called to serve. I’m committed to using this experience to fuel a bigger mission: launching an organization that supports mental health, emotional resilience, and inner peace—especially for those who feel like they’re carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders.

Thank you for reading, for believing, and for helping me walk this path. When I tell you I won’t take it for granted—believe me. Every single contribution means the world to me. Do I expect to get the entire 7k? Of course not, I plan to pay the difference, but at the end of the day, it doesn't hurt to ask.

Something BIG is going to come of this... watch and see.

Always love,

Khadija
